I use a vinyl tablecloth for everyday family meals but I am sick of having to replace them for tears. How will this tablecloth hold up to daily use?

I only use it for holidays and I do like it boy it is not completely water proof. The spill does bead up but some of the moisture does "sit" on the table. This thing is SUPER slippery..one of the grandkids crawled up on a chair and grabbed the table clothe and the whole thing almost can off the table....hope that helps

Hello. I use mine for daily use but I don't have children at home. , I wouldn't use it at all if I did since it does slip around a bit and children would have it slipping and sliding all over the place. I can just see the food-on-the-floor accidents now! :-) And by the way, the actual green tablecloth is MUCH darker than the photo but I like it with light colored place mats and napkins. Hope this helps.

This is much more durable than a vinyl tablecloth. We end up washing ours about once a week because of our two year old and it still looks good. He pulls it and moves it around and it hasn't torn yet. It has the feel of cloth so I would guess that unless you cut it with something sharp it should last a long time.

Holds up very well for daily use. I wash it often and the threads are still solid.

Excellent! The best tablecloth I've ever owned. Too expensive though. If they were cheaper I would have bought 6 more.

You'll love it. Will never tear like plasitc or vinyl, and actually looks like a classy linen... except you can wipe off minor spots with a sponge. I bought a couple and swap them about once a week.

Pretty good. We use it daily and it still looks good. The material is very sturdy.

Mine was in perfect condition. However I don't know if it was my careless washing but I do have a few spots that faded after several washes. It does hold up well. I've washed it too many times to remember as it is on my kitchen table and gets a lot of use. I cover the faded spots with placemats and its not even noticeable to anyone but me. The fabric looks as good as new even after all the washes.

I purchased these tablecloths for a church event. While I would not describe them as thick I certainly would not say they are too thin either. They are a lightweight cloth that drapes nicely and looks good. They are comparable to the fabric weight of the tablecloths I rented for my own daughters' wedding. I purchased these for less than the price of the rentals for her wedding. The only thing I would warn about would be that you should be prepared to iron the tablecloths--they do have creases where they have been folded that require steam. Otherwise, I do not think you will be disappointed. I purchased these tablecloths for a church event. While I would not describe them as thick I certainly would not say they are too thin either.

It has been a little over a year with our set. We eat at the table but also have things that end up finding a home there...like napkin holders...flower vases etc....This is a "rubberwood" table. It comes with a decent finish of polyurethane. However, we do keep either a table cloth or a runner on it. It is TRUE that a nice wood table should be showed off a bit, but then again, it's wood!! Cannot expect it to hold us like granite or tiles! Given that this product is real wood, I would protect it as such. It is a durable table, but it also needs consideration based on what it is constructed of.

Ours has held up well for a couple years at a time. We just ordered two new sets to replace the old ones we had. They are plastic with elastic around the edge. They fit very well on the two round tables we have.

The paper bonding of the cover to the spine should hold up okay. My guess is that the vinyl sheets will be destroyed before the binder itself has a problem. I'd order some more up front and plan to replace some.

It might work well with a tablecloth. We use ours without. It is really up to you.

It is a great table top for everyday use! I've been so happy with it! Since it was going to be part of our 'furniture' and living space I wanted something nearly indestructible with my grandbabies (and me) making crafts, having dinner, throwing our stuff on it when we get home, etc... It has a natural looking 'scratch' and rustic surface but smooth enough to keep clean. If my granddaughters left paint or ink stains on it, I cannot see it at all! I recommend it and it looks like you are getting it for a better price than when I bought it so snatch it up quick! Hope this helps!

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

I think a few scratches and dings are probably inevitable, over time, because the wood is soft. But, my table still looks almost new because I wrap it with a couple of layers of bubble wrap in three strips--one strip wrapped around each end, with the sides folded over to protect the corners and a strip down the middle to hold the legs in place. I tape with clear wrapping tape or masking tape, if it sticks well. It takes a little bit of time to put it away this way, but has protected it between uses and the wrap is reusable. A friend who bought one had enough sewing skills to make a sturdy envelope of fabric, which I think is very nice. She cut a strip of fabric and tied it around the middle, to hold the legs in place and she bought cardboard corners from a framing store, to put around the corners, before she slips it into its open-ended envelope. I hope this was helpful.

I am using it in my kitchen, but I do not cook all that much. It is NOT vinyl...it is a paper, however, there does seem to be a coating on it. It could be wiped down with a damp cloth, but I would NOT try to scrub it.

The folds will probably come out in time,mine stays on the table,with a nice vinyl tablecloth,it holds firm no slipping or sliding,I have small grandchildren and it protects my table really well,if you feel it's too damaged return it and ask for a replacement.

Mine held up quite well. I still have yet to use it and it's still in perfect shape. No tears or rips.

Ditto to Deborah V and the other Amazon Customer. I don't use it everyday; even so, I can tell it is very solid. I expect to use it long after it is used as a changing table.

I wouldn't use it for a table cloth because it is so thin. It probably has a lot of sizing in it to give it the body it does have. I used it for curtains for a college dorm room and lined it with a white cotton fabric of similar weight because I wanted an inexpensive fabric that only need to last a couple of years and would not need to be washed. It worked well for that use. If the fabric is not substantial enough to wear, it would not be substantial enough for a table cloth that must be washed from time to time. Hope this is helpful to you.

My kitchen set is gorgeous. I purchased a think piece of clear plastic as my tablecloth and I use placemats, also. It has held up very well.
